Lyrics
Name in Lights
When you see my name in lights
You will be the answer to my prayer
Tell me
Will time sit still if wasted
Still only time can tell if
You’ll need me this time
I see
As everyday grows faster
The spiral clock winds back through
The passage of time
Postcards and pictures from an era
You thought would last forever
Now you say
Our faded souvenirs of yesterday
Beyond your childish dreams of youth
It’s happening too fast for you to see
You can’t rewind or set the time on
Your own terms
Tell me
Can age be stalled by waiting
Or through anticipating
The fading of time
Tell me
Will time sit still if wasted
Still only time can tell if
You’ll need me
This time
This time
This time
This time
When you see my name in lights
You will be the answer to my prayer
